Camp memories

We had a blast at Camp. Here are some of our memories.

Kayaking. By Jack Cook

"Everyone put a lifejacket on and make sure it fits," said the instructor Joel. We all put a life jacket on and grabbed a paddle. We all hopped into a kayak and when Joel pushed us off the platform into the river it felt like a roller coaster.

If you hit the river bank, you robbed the bank. When you looked at the big rocks they looked like crocodiles.When you paddled fast the crisp air flowed into your mouth.

The rough kayak felt like crocodile skin. On the side of the river you could smell the fresh plants. The river looked like a mini nature trail, but instead of rocks there was water. 

I capsized 3 times. The water was a freezing refreshing bath. After kayaking, Joel said to stand up in our kayaks. When I stood up, the boat rocked and I fell in. 

After, me and Brandon had to drag the kayaks up onto the platform.

The Scream Machine.  By Joseph S

One more pseron left...come on! I was sick of people screaming and saying, "It's weird!" I wanted a turn.
Finally, Yay, it's my turn. After I got harnessed on the parents clipped a rope to the harness. 

I swung and swung, up and down. I heard the wind whistling in my ears and people were urging me to scream.

Getting dizzy after a minute, I felt the harness and rope rubbing against me. The helmet was bouncing on my head like a spring. I had no feeling in my feet at all! Suddenly I felt a bump. He had let go of the rope!

I hardly saw anything because I was spinning so fast. I saw blurred images of people looking, people climbing and getting suited up. I saw the rope flying behind me like it had a mind of its own, flying and twisting like a snake in the air. 

But what I saw then was the people laughing afterwards.
